Math IIC/curves

<p>Does anyone know how many questions you can miss on the math IIC and still get an 800? Also, is it true that there are harder curves in June as opposed to, say, May? I registered for the May test but I haven't had too much time to study and I think I'll do better if I wait until June.</p>

<p>I am having the same problem as well, any feedback would be appreciated.
I'm actually seriously considering switching to math IC</p>

<p>same. i studied 4 hours straight outta barrons today and i still didn't understand a thing they said about polynomials lol... (i forgot all my alg 2 stuff! eek) i think i'm gonna go insane...</p>

<p>how difficult is it REALLY to get a 750+? people on CC are like "oh psh it's a piece of cake!" but are those all the math geniuses talking? people from school are like "math iic was a BEAST..."</p>

<p>I dont know...i think it just depends on how well you remember your stuff from algebra2 and pre-calc...</p>

<p>like i havent even touched the books and im basically fine with this test...</p>

<p>And i believe you can go in there and just decide to take the Math !C if you want...The collegeboard doesnt really give a damn..they just want your money for the test..</p>

<p>in response to the OP, my prep book says you can miss up to 6 or 7 and still receive an 800</p>

<p>It depends, I did about 4 hrs of prepping and got an 800, but I also got an 800 on SAT I Math. But you can study alot for the test; I recomend PR, very similar to the real deal.</p>

<p>how many can you get wrong on the math 1C to get an 800 or a high 700? is it true that 1 wrong is automatically 20 or 30 points off?</p>

<p>you can get up to 7 wrong for a 800</p>

<p>i get around 720-750 on practice exams and i don't even know anything, but i'm pretty good with the calculator</p>

<p>the curve will be bigger (maybe 8 or 9 wrong? who knows..just a guess) during May because everyone is busy taking and preparing for AP tests</p>

<p>There is no curve on the Math IC exam, to answer that question. 1 question wrong will not take you down 20-30 points; it'll drop you to a 790. I took a practice test today and scored a 710; I scored 41/50, to give some sort of a scale.</p>

<p>There is no "curve". Equating is the opposite. If everyone does poorly, everyone gets a low score, end of story.</p>

<p>well the first time i took Math 2C(as a practice, BEFORE opening any books) i got a 630 while missing 13 and skipping 6. i then took the Math 1C (again BEFORE opening any books) and i got the same 630 while missing 13 and skipping 1. so for the math 2C, you can skip more and get more wrong, and you can still do well on the tests</p>

<p>In other words, no month is better.</p>
